> new - Woodland Friends Giant Wall Stickers

Introducing out new Woodland Friends Giant Wall Stickers... printed with a soft wood effect. Much as we love our bright, fluoro coloured wall stickers, we have been experimenting lately with other effects - layering text and photographic textures (much as we do for our murals) and this is our first full design printed with a soft blonde wood finish. Much more contemporary in feel, it looks marvellous on a neutral or soft grey painted wall. Add the wonderful Oeuf Sparrow cot, the Eames Hang it All coat rack and the Le Klint 172 pendant light and you have a nursery design that will last for years!

Available from our webshop next week.

> zing into Spring with The Lost Garden...

... in Fluoro. In our opinion, there is no better wallpaper that evokes the feeling of Spring.

After months of waiting, it is wonderful to welcome the arrival of Spring. Throw open the windows and let the sunshine in... clean the house and get it looking lovely and fresh. And time off this Easter can be well spent re-decorating and sprucing as well as taking time out to relax and enjoy the lengthening days. 

Fluoro Lost Garden is full of bright, happy, zingy colours which cast the most glorious light around a room. Inspired by one of our walks around the fields of Blenheim Palace it is our contemporary take on chinoiserie. Other colours in the range include Spring Green and Summer Blue. Which is your favourite?

Available to order from our webshop.

> gorgeous soft greys... with dandelions

We're so in love with our "Dandelion Fields" WallScene wallpaper... in the most gorgeous soft grey. And now, with our "Dandelions and Cowparsley Giant Wall Stickers" in white. Perfect for the nursery or for  the rooms of design conscious growing children. 

The background colour to both is a match to Farrow and Ball's gorgeous Cornforth White (no. 228). A soft, delicate putty grey with a gentle warmth to it... and the perfect foil to our dandelions!

It looks chic and contemporary with furnishings in white and neutral woods but equally fab with some zingy colours, like acid yellows, petrol blues, vibrant oranges... and hot, hot pink!


Available to order from our webshop.

> celebrate the first day of Spring...

with our fab WallScene wallpaper "The Lost Garden" in Spring Green. 

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the primroses are in flower... it's lovely outside. OK, we have a hose pipe ban from 5th April and we do need the rain (I shall never moan about the rain again) but we can be happy that spring is finally here.

Time to clean the house and get it spruced up... and there's no better wallpaper to instill the joys of the season than our gorgeous Lost Garden, in Spring Green. The colours are positively mood enhancing and cast the most glorious light around a room. It was inspired by one of our walks around the fields of Blenheim Palace and is our contemporary take on chinoiserie. Try it... you'll like it!

Available to order from our webshop.

> celebrate Pugin's 200th birthday with our Big Ben

Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, born on 1st March 1812 worked with Charles Barry on the new Houses of Parliament.
